  • Publication number: 20240191746
    Abstract: A sliding bearing (1) includes a bearing body (2) in the manner of a hollow cylinder produced from a base material, which body encloses a bushing (20). An antifriction material different from the base material is provided in the bushing (20) on the inside of the bearing body (2), which antifriction material encloses a sliding guide (4) lying within the bushing (20). The sliding bearing (1) includes at least one hollow-cylinder-like sliding element (3) made from the antifriction material, which element is arranged in the bushing (20) of the bearing body (2) and encloses the sliding guide (4) in a circumferentially closed manner. The sliding element (3) includes on its outside at least one projection (310), which engages a recess (21) provided on the inside of the bearing body (2).
